On March 9, 2009, President Barack Obama issued Executive Order (EO)13505 authorizing the Secretary of Health and Human Services, through the Director of NIH, to support and conduct responsible, scientifically worthy human stem cell research, including human embryonic stem cell research, to the extent permitted by law. The EO also directs the Secretary, through the Director of NIH, to review existing NIH guidance and other widely recognized guidelines on human stem cell research, including provisions establishing appropriate safeguards, and within 120 days from the date of the EO, issue new NIH Guidelines on such research (Guidelines). NIH will be releasing draft Guidelines in the Federal Register for public comment and expects to promulgate final Guidelines within the 120 day limit set by the President. This Notice informs the community of the status of ongoing research, and of applications pending review or to be submitted, prior to the issuance of final Guidelines.
After the Guidelines are issued in final, all subsequent requests for funding are expected to comply with the new Guidelines.
